CPANPLUS::Backend::RV - return value objects

    ### create a CPANPLUS::Backend::RV object
    $backend_rv     = CPANPLUS::Backend::RV->new(
                                ok          => $boolean,
                                args        => $args,
                                rv          => $return_value
                                function    => $calling_function );
    ### if you have a CPANPLUS::Backend::RV object
    $passed_args    = $backend_rv->args;    # args passed to function
    $ok             = $backend_rv->ok;      # boolean indication overall
                                            # result of the call
    $function       = $backend_rv->function # name of the calling
                                            # function
    $rv             = $backend_rv->rv       # the actual return value
                                            # of the calling function

This module provides return value objects for multi-module calls to CPANPLUS::Backend. In boolean context, it returns the status of the overall result (ie, the same as the "ok" method would).

Creates a new CPANPLUS::Backend::RV object from the data provided. This method should only be called by CPANPLUS::Backend functions. The accessors may be used by users inspecting an RV object.

All the argument names can be used as accessors later to retrieve the data.

Arguments:

Boolean indicating overall success
The arguments provided to the function that returned this rv object. Useful to inspect later to see what was actually passed to the function in case of an error.
An arbitrary data structure that has the detailed return values of each of your multi-module calls.
The name of the function that created this rv object. Can be explicitly passed. If not, "new()" will try to deduce the name from "caller()" information.
